The Ethical and Societal Implications of AI-Generated Image Manipulation of Women Online

Introduction: A Controversial AI Initiative

Earlier this week, discussions emerged around a new AI program designed to digitally dress women on the internet—often against their will. Remarkably, this initiative is framed as a protective measure rather than a malicious tool used for deepfake porn or harassment. The proponents of this AI software express support, claiming it can help shift images of women from revealing lingerie or nudity to more modest attire. They argue that such a change can enhance dignity and respect for women online. In the conversation, some participants found the concept appealing, emphasizing how many women look better in dresses than in lingerie.
